==================
Parasite Axes demo
==================
Create a parasite axes. Such axes would share the x scale with a host axes,
but show a different scale in y direction.
This approach uses `mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.HostAxes` and
`mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.ParasiteAxes`.
The standard and recommended approach is to use instead standard Matplotlib
axes, as shown in the :doc:`/gallery/spines/multiple_yaxis_with_spines`
example.
An alternative approach using `mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1` and
`mpl_toolkits.axisartist` is shown in the
:doc:`/gallery/axisartist/demo_parasite_axes2` example.
